Presentation can make all the difference to how appealing a plate of food can be. Something that has noticeably taken a while to prepare, whether it be the food itself, or how it is presented, always seems more enticing than a slap up meal.  A group of Oxford University students have recently revealed that it is not only the presentation that makes a difference, but that food actually tastes differently depending on type of cutlery that is used, be it the material, shape and/or colour.

'Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.' '"Even before we put food into our mouths our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience", said Prof Charles Spence and Dr Vanessa Harra.

Fascinating, don't you think?
